(I have a follow up with my doctor on the 19th, just posting for possible community input)

I’m a 23 year old female, and have had some thyroid concerns for a while now because of family history, and got a blood test to hopefully rule some things out. My symptoms had been insatiable hunger, night sweats, confusion, dread and anxiety with no cause, and tremors in my limbs.

My thyroxine (T4) was an 8.1 ug/dL
Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) was 12 IU/mL
Triiodothyronine (T3), Free was 3.6 pg/ML
and
T4, (Free) Direct was 1.36

To my understanding, this is well and normal. My calcium however, was a whopping 17.3 mg/dL. I see that high calcium can be a sign of parathyroidism, but wouldn’t that have an impact on my other tests? Has anyone else had calcium be their only indicator?
